Interesting Facts About the Jews in
fa'aXtine.

The following extracts from a
letter received by a gentleman in
Syracuse from IL lady who has been
tor SEINE years a missionary in Jc-
rusalem, will be read with interest.
~ will try to answer Your ques
tons ne well as | am able, about
the return of the Jews. am told
that thirty years ago there were
not ten Jews in Jerusalem. The
man who gave me this information
SAID that his father was one of the
first who came. 1t is only about
nine years since the Jews have
been coming back in any conslG
cradle numbers. About five hun
dred arrive every year, and this is
a low estimate. There are twenty
II thousand Jews in Jerusalem
alone, and enc hundred thousand
in all Palestine. There is a rabbi
here now who came from Russia
last week. He has brought quite
a large sum of money with him to
build homes for I Ose poor who
are unable to wsrk longer, and
will also purchase a suitable loca-
ton IN the country to make a col
ony and ass.st those who are able
to work. There are now nine
colonies i'll Palestine. S.veral OF
these have been built, and are
under the protection OF Baron de
ROthschild.
"The Jews come here with the
NEST ardent expectation of the soor
coming Of the Messiah and rebuild
ing OF the Temple. Tins is what
brings them here to suffer. Their
faith is strong. All classes arc
expecting q great war between
Russia and Turkey, and 1t cannot
long be delayed The Pasha &
Jerusalem has become frightened
on account Of such activity in the
lani sales. He seems to fear that
all his possessions will slip away,
and he Jews are beginning to
have some trouble in getting titles
from the government, but he know,
that his time Is ended, aud he will
submit after a brief struggle
